The temperature here has just hit freezing point, which means that an ice cream cone would not melt on me. Rather fortuitous therefore :no: that an Ice Cream Van has just stopped outside our house, accompanied by its jangly rendition of 'Whistle while we work...". :o
Only used to get these vans doing the rounds in the summer when I was a lad. I'm all for enterprise, but I wonder how much trade he'll get.
It's a funny old world.
Good luck to him.
I think kids of all ages (including us 60 somethings) love an ice cream - whatever the weather.
:)
I must admit I would enjoy a 99 but sadly I'm unable to eat ice cream these days due to adverse reactions. :(
Perhaps he's doing a roaring trade in Arctic Rolls :-X

Hi
Funnily enough we've just had one this afternoon driving past work.
Cheers

I'm reminded of the Morecambe and Wise sketch where a fire engine goes past outside with the bell ringing [remember when they had bells?]. Eric pulls back the curtain and says "He won't sell many ice creams going at that speed".
We had a sprinkling of white stuff overnight, even in the sunshine it hasn't melted.
I spent 6 hours working outside today...
Do I want an ice cream...NO
32C here today, yeah, I could go an ice cream :beers:

Looks like it is going to be a cool Christmas/New Year this year then. Nice when the temps stay low.
Selling ice cream in winter. Must save a fortune on refrigeration costs in the van.
Just reading me local paper here, and apparently the UK is copping a bit of snow.
The local rag says the M1 was partially closed, and it is the main highway between London and North East England ???
Fake news!! ;D
